SG-1 is available on Now TV in the UK if you want to watch it right now.
The Horus guards and Anubis were so fucking cool in the movie, fantastic costumes and fx. Then I saw those snake guards in the first episode of SG-1, and was immediately turned off the whole show.
What the fuck is this goofy shit?

So the giant crystal skull aliens. They just left Daniel's grandfather with them and never went back for him. No follow up whatsoever.
Not to mention Ra's face mask.
I'd like to think those aliens were advanced enough to ascend themselves and they somehow allowed Nicholas the privilege of joining their ranks.
This show is so damn comfy. Just started it up and it brings me back to catching constant reruns on the sci-fi channel.
I'm already on S1, epi 10. Thors hammer. Its so much fun watching earth grow to become a major galaxy powerhouse.
Different shows but it feels nestled between now and a show like Star Trek. That point when the universe opens up and the future is given to many possibilities. It stokes the imagination.
Absolutely. If you love most sci-fi, it's highly likely you're going to enjoy SG-1.
All gods are merely alien entities that may or may not be more intelligent than humans. The term God or Gods is just rhetorical and doesn't delineate what a being actually is.
I actually think an SG1 type series nowadays would be refreshing and not so much just purely cheesy. I feel like the culture surrounding sci-fi television has gotten to the point where the grim dark, cynical stuff has wrapped its way around into cheesy territory and it's difficult to take seriously anymore, no matter how hard the people who make those types of series try.
Are people in this thread really complaining that the helmet CGI (or in this case, lack of) for a 90's sci-fi TV show isn't as cool as the CGI for a huge summer block buster movie?
Really guys. Yeah, no shit it isn't.

I think there's a point later in the series where they come across Horus guards and/or Anubis, who have masks that do this. The budget in the early seasons was definitely shoestring for stuff like this, they made it work later.
They also dropped the fact that a trip through the gate makes you cold and get frost all over your body
I wrote that off as a side effect of Earth not having a functioning DHD and having to dial using their computer technology. I don't think the Ancients wanted beings travelling in such discomfort.
I'm watching this for the first time and wtf is up with the compression?
I realize it was aired in SD, but this seriously looks like it was compressed to 180p. There are massive compression artifacts everywhere. And the dark scenes my god. It's just smears of off color pixels.

Fucking yes, you can do deep stuff without being heavy, honestly it usually carries more weight when they do.
Seriously watching this for the first time. S1 was a slog so I skipped it, but reaching mid-season 2, not only is it getting good, I'm really enjoying it. Watching the Fifth Race looked like it was gonna be a bad Nth Degree ripoff, but became a lore expanding ep by the end.
The first episode is so wild with the nudity and creepy sex slave plot compared to the family friendly romp the show eventually became.
I noticed it looked bad last night, but I don't recall how bad it was on Prime. Anyone want to compare?
I prefer to use the Netflix version just for ease of use and skip intro, though.
I didn't realize it was on Hulu.
Just checked it out there and the quality is much better.
I wonder why Netflix is using such a low quality source.
The Atlantis ep where Mckay gets trapped underwater was outstanding
They did just that. The freezing effect seemed to have been caused because Abydos and Earth had been drifting further and further apart, so the gate address was becoming increasingly incorrect, straining the connection. After finding the Abydos cartouche and accounting for stellar drift they are able to make better connections that avoid the chilling effect.
Stargate Universe introduced the freezing effect again when Icarus Base dialed Destiny, half the universe away. Shitty connection made for a much more violent gate transition.
Why, they'd only drop it again in 3 years.
They still havn't worked out that constantly canning shit hurts them long term. I have no interest in getting invested in anything Netflix does because they don;t all get saved by someone else.
but when cutthroat bitch dies tho.
They call this out in 'Red Sky', S5E5. It's down to stellar drift, and Carter uses her science whizz to fix it in S1. It also fixed being thrown out at top speed.
That issue comes back in a later episode, can't remember which though.
Watching Season 9 at the moment. How does everyone feel about the Ori? I actually quite enjoyed this arc and it feels so different to have such an overwhelmingly powerful enemy. I know a lot of people dislike the Ori but I'd say I'm a fan all in all. As for the new cast I dislike Mitchell but Vala is great.
Hallowed are the Ori
Hallowed are the Ori
At first i thought they were a weak gasp of a writers running out of things to do. But it was refreshing to see Earth take some Ls and really fight for their lives.
It was a nice Outside Context Problem that Earth dealt with effectively in the end, but the Ori never had the charisma and charm of the Goa'uld and I missed the further exploration of mythology in the show.
I wanted to see Earth lead the way and fight more outside threats of the galaxy after the Ori. Its why I really want a new show continuing the timeline.
also I wanted to see how the asgard Super repository is handling the integration into earth society
Recently decided to watch the series as a family thing after finishing DS9, and I had fond memories of it even though I only watched a few seasons back in the days.
I guess I had only seen the edited version though, because we got quite the surprise in rhe pilot hehe.
Is there more full frontal nudity in the coming eps? I don't really mind unless it's full on sex, but my wife was quite shocked hehe (and our 10 and 12 yr old boys, though they seemed quite interested for scientific purposes).

What was the deal with that pilot episode? How in the hell did a network TV show in the 90s have full front nudity?
Wasn't it on cable? I always thought all cable tv in the 90s was a lot more adventurous than now.
The show started on the Showtime network initially, so nudity wasn't as big of a deal for that network. But it was just the pilot.
It was originally on Showtime. So the nudity was because Showtime.
Honetly the only way I can see a series set after the end of what we already know is if theres been an event to remove all the tech or aliens that make it obsolete to a degree.
Absolutely, anytime McKay gets knocked down a peg is hilarious, but here where he's doing it to himself is well executed.
Shoot, SG1's Window of Opportunity plays the time loop for laughs, but twists the knife a fair bit for how being stuck like that would drive you crazy.
I don't know which character it references, but it may not hit as hard as Ben's last episode, or even the end of the fourth episode* where the setup a 1/3 statistic at the start of the episode and go 3/3 to show that bad days happen.
